Transmitting and Receiving 
MIDI Data
On the GT-6B, you can use Exclusive messages to provide 
another GT-6B with identical settings, and save effect 
settings on a sequencer or other device. This transmission of 
data is called “Bulk Dump,” while receiving such data is 
referred to as “Bulk Load.”
Transmitting Data to an External 
MIDI Device (Bulk Dump)
The following types of data can be transmitted. You can 
transmit data by specifying the range from the start to the 
end of transmission.
